Table - best surf conditions forecast for Tarnos - La Digue over the next 16 days.
G'day, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for the Tarnos region over the next couple of weeks.
The honest truth is, the opening stretch is looking pretty grim. We’ve got a solid block of poor conditions right through the first week and into the second. For a spot that's usually fairly consistent, it’s a real dry spell, but that's the forecast we've got.
The first chance for a surf doesn't roll around until Friday, July 24th. That morning at Tarnos - La Digue we finally get a glimpse of something worthwhile. We're looking at a clean 3 ft swell from the NW, with a 10-second period. The water temp is sitting at 75°, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year. What makes this session stand out is the glassy conditions – literally no wind and clean waves. The combined swell energy is moderate at 272, so there's some proper push behind it. It's small enough for beginners but still has enough grunt for a fun session.
Before that, there's nothing worth paddling out for. The Saturday the 25th offers a similar sized swell, but the wind turns cross-onshore and messy, so that Friday morning is the real highlight.
A few sessions earlier in the run, like Saturday the 11th of July, had a tiny bit of glass and small 2 ft swell, but the energy was weak and the conditions were just too ordinary to get excited about. Sunday the 12th was similar with glassy 2 ft conditions, but again, just not enough oomph.
So bottom line: keep your eye on that Friday the 24th. It's a long way off, but it's the best we've got. Everything else is a write-off for a good paddle.
Rusty.
